Continuous ESP Block for Pain After Bypass Surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a continuous nerve block (ESP block) placed near the spine to control pain after bypass surgery. It aims to see if this block improves recovery and reduces pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are planning to have coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) that uses a heart-lung machine.
- Your heart's main pumping ability is good (left ventricular ejection fraction over 50%).
- You do not have moderate or severe heart valve disease.
- You have not had previous open-heart surgery through the front of your chest.
- You are not allergic to the study drugs.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether the position of patients during a nerve block (ESPB) affects pain relief after video-assisted lung surgery. It aims to find the best way to give the block for better comfort after surgery.
This study tests whether adding a second medicine (dexmedetomidine) to a standard numbing medicine (ropivacaine) improves pain control after coronary artery bypass surgery that is done without a heart-lung machine. If you qualify, you would receive a numbing block to the muscles near your spine before surgery to help manage pain afterward.
This trial tests whether an ESP block (a type of numbing injection near the spine) can reduce pain after back surgery. It may help you recover with less pain and fewer opioids.
This study compares two different nerve-block injections (one near the spine, one under the shoulder blade) to see which provides better pain relief after heart bypass surgery. If you are scheduled for a planned bypass and are in reasonably good health, you might be able to join.
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to control pain after chest surgery done with a camera. It aims to find which block works better so you can recover more comfortably.
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (SPIP and ESP) to see which provides better pain relief after cardiac surgery. If you are having open-heart surgery, this could help you recover with less pain.
